JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – What does Africa really need? The "Sustainable Development" crowd hailing NEPAD, or the New Economic Program for Africa's Development," certainly don't have a clue.
To begin, Africa needs to rid itself of dictators, corporate raiders, radical Marxism, Islamic jihad and white mercenary armies like Executive Outcomes.
Africa needs to realize that the street protestors in Davos and Seattle are comprised mostly of bored, out-of-shape, middle-class white kids from privileged backgrounds who have no idea about what the average African needs and wants.
Africa needs the Islamic regime in Khartoum to stop its killing of 2 million black African Christians in South Sudan. The scorched-earth policies, human slavery and forced conversion to Islam of the Khartoum regime must come to an end.
Africa needs DeBeers' diamond pirates to stop trying to buy off the SWAPO regime in Namibia. How hypocritical that super capitalists and devout Marxists should work hand in hand while so many go without their basic needs being met.
Africa needs to stop Communist China from colonizing the continent, as mass extinction is no stranger to the Maoists in Beijing. Africans should question China's role in Sudan's oil fields and its high-tech space facility near Swakopmund, Namibia. Then there is the question of China's gross violations of human rights as political and religious dissidents are sent to work in slave labor logai gulags. Do Africans – or anyone for that matter – think that the Karmic Wheel won't turn against them when they accept Chinese imports stained with the blood and tears of so many innocents?
Africa needs to give up the weapons of mass destruction it is hiding in Sudan, Libya and Algeria for Iraq's ruling regime.
Africa needs to stop sending its children to dig – and sometimes drown – in tunnels in an effort to mine Tanzanite gems.
Africa needs to fess up to just who exactly killed Jonas Savimbi – and why – while the MPLA mortgaged the natural resources of Angola to the hilt to Western corporations and mercenaries.
Africa needs to admit that Zimbabwean dictator Robert Mugabe has white "angels" backing him in the UK. Who are these men, and what is their agenda? Africa needs to ask why British leader Tony Blair sends British troops to guard diamond mines in Sierra Leone owned by wealthy white British businessmen while failing to dispatch troops to Zimbabwe?
Africa needs to face the fact that its famines are man-made, from Ethiopia (because of Soviet intervention), Zimbabwe (because of Mugabe's anti-white farm cleansing) and Malawi (because the World Bank said to sell off all the grain reserves). Perhaps GE foods can be blamed on the current famine in Malawi, but the issue goes far deeper than that.
Africa needs to stop believing the pseudo, non-scientific lies promoted by doomsday scenario advocates in the West.
First, the world is not over-populated. More than 97 percent of the land surface on Earth is empty. Just get in a plane and fly over Siberia, Alaska, Canada, America and Australia. Yes, certain cities are over-populated, of course. Yet the entire population of the world could fit inside the state of Arkansas. So, then, how is the world "over-populated"? Europe and Japan will be facing under-population crises in the coming decades, even according to U.N. studies on population.
Africa needs to realize that cultures that worship nature tend toward human sacrifice – see the Mayans of Central America for example. Or see Nazi Germany. The "overpopulation lie" is pure white supremacy, aimed at eliminating brown, black and red babies, all in the name of science and (surprise!) multi-billion dollar fetal tissue for "research" on diseases and other health-related phenomena. Dr. Mengele would be proud.
Second, the world throws away enough food to feed billions. Argentina, if farmed properly could most likely feed the entire world's population. Koreans are very keen gardeners, so why is South Korea flooded with food while North Koreans only 50 miles north of Seoul eat bugs and the roots of trees? It's Stalinism, stupid – from Laos to Cuba to the Ukraine, Marxists create food shortages through their misguided, collectivist policies and lack of support for agriculture while spending money on arms.
Third, that volcano that erupted in the Philippines some years ago released more "dangerous" gasses into the atmosphere than all of the automobiles and factories in human history combined. So how can man possibly "change" the environment with anti-air pollution treaties – no matter how well-intentioned – when nature is always ready to show up just how small we are?
When I was a boy in the 1970s, I remember being bombarded with the doom and gloom of the "coming ice age and famine." Well, it was all a big lie. Al Gore's mentor Paul Ehrlich – the leading promoter of this view – was exposed as a fraud.
Now, all that we hear about is "global warming." Well let me tell you, last May 15, in New York, the temperature got down to 39 degrees Fahrenheit. Where is the global warming? What's next, the "global lukewarm" crisis? How about the "global we don't know what the weather will be like tomorrow so how can we predict what it will be like 100 years from now" crisis?
Fourth, gigantic underwater volcanic and sea vent activity in the South Pole is a large reason why the ice shelf of Antarctica breaks apart. In fact, that region almost doubles in size each year before retracting. Is a "polar shift" possible? Sure. Has it happened before? Almost certainly. But is this Waterworld fantasy bogeyman worth all nightmares that the doomsayers offer mankind? What about an asteroid from outer space hitting the Earth? That is far more probable – so where are the anti-asteroid scientists at the "Sustainable Development" conference in Johannesburg?
Africa needs to block out the MTV-pagan culture from the eyes and minds of its youth and seek a return to monogamous sex within marriage as the "norm" to help stop the spread of AIDS. More AIDS means more money for Western pharmaceutical companies.
(Yes, there are real environmental problems, like nuclear waste and fresh water, but the aforementioned false doomsday scenarios only serve to scare the youth of Africa and the world.)
Africa needs to understand how the International Monetary Fund devastated the economies of Argentina and South Korea, while nations like Malaysia – which shut out IMF control – survived even the 1997 Asian Meltdown.
Africa needs to condemn North Korea for its part in Zimbabwe's Matabele massacre under Mugabe and stop North Koreans from digging for uranium in the Congo.
Africa needs to address baby rape in South Africa.
Africa needs to address and stop the brutal killing of 1,300 out of 40,000 Afrikaner-Boer farmers since 1994.
When Africa takes all of these steps, it will be poised for a true reformation, rather than a "non-enlightened renaissance," that will make Africa the future center of the best virtues of Christian civilization. Then – and only then – will all good things for Africa become not only possible, but probable.
This one sentence describes the problems in Africa. South Africa has all the resources it needs to be a strong, self-sufficient country. It proved it in the past. Then it became a violent, Marxist country.
Other Africa countries have good land and plenty of marketable resources. They are just run by ignorant murderers who would starve their own people for political gain.
